From the 6th April 2008, a fee will be payable where a written request to the relevant Local Planning Authority is made for any application, in accordance with article 21 of the General Development Procedure Order, where written confirmation is required that one or more conditions imposed on the same permission have been compiled with. The fee charged by the Council is £85 per request (or £25 where the related permission was for extending or altering a dwellinghouse or other development in the curtilage of a dwellinghouse). The fee must be paid when the request is made, and cannot be required retrospectively.
The request, identifying the permission and the conditions concerned, can be made in any written format which is clear and legible. Alternatively, applicants may wish to use the Standard Application Form (application for approval of details reserved by a conditions) to set out the same details which they would like the Local Planning Authority to consider.

In most cases the Local Planning Authority will be able to respond in less than eight weeks. Indeed, authorities should endeavour to respond within 21 days for simple approvals, though a longer period may be justified if an authority has itself to obtain evidence or confirmation of compliance from a third party, such as a statutory consultee.
